Truth: Under Biden-Harris, “fewer soldiers have died in combat than in any administration since Jimmy Carter.”

Donald Trump keeps threatening World War III if he’s not elected and has claimed he would “quickly” end the Russian war in Ukraine before he returns to the White House. Trump claims we’re fighting in distant foreign nations and has vowed to “expel the warmongers” from government.

Trump leaves out that this would happen if he fires everyone in government to install his loyalists, who keep talking about murdering Democrats and Civil War if they don’t get what they want. In other words, these are not peace-minded folks.

The media is somehow uninterested in exactly how someone who is not president would do this, but because Trump has sided with Putin over the U.S. and over Ukraine, it’s not hard to imagine what he means by ending the war.

And we also have RFK, Jr’s words to go by.

RFK, Jr says that ex-president and convicted felon Donald Trump told him, “He told me he wanted to end the grip of the neocons on U.S. foreign policy. He said he didn’t want any more $200 billion wars in Ukraine and we could use that money back here in the United States.”

The Arizona Republic noted that moments after this, RFK, Jr “may have incorrectly implied that Americans are fighting in foreign wars.”

“Don’t you want a president who’s going to get us out of the wars and rebuild the middle class in this country?” he rhetorically asked.

U.S. troops are not fighting in Ukraine or in Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

Under the hood: RFK, Jr is supposed to help the Republican candidate peel off far-left and Independent voters who agree with the sentiment expressed that we shouldn’t be fighting in these wars. Of course, we’re not fighting in these wars.

But they also mean they think if we weren’t supporting Ukraine, e.g., we’d have money to support whatever it is that people think they should have (but probably isn’t on the Republican agenda). This is the Jill Stein, pro-Putin contingency hoping to grab enough radicalized alternative wellness types to keep Vice President Kamala Harris out of the White House in 2024.

It’s sadly based on a whopping lie, though.

PEACE!

Cries for peace sound great, though. Right? Right.

But of course, it’s too good to be true and because it’s coming from a prolific liar who seeks to corrupt the entire political system so he can raid the coffers again, it needs to be addressed.
